Memorial's 5th and 6th grade Innovations students are taking on exciting challenges using the Engineering Design Process to solve real-world problems! In these photos, Mr. Hahn's class is hard at work building and testing prototypes of wind-powered land vehicles, pushing the boundaries of creativity and engineering skills.

Since the beginning of March, the 5th and 6th grade students at Memorial have been engaged in our Math March Madness IXL Challenge. Although there are still four more days of competition left, we couldn't resist sharing this exciting update.

We eagerly anticipate announcing the winning team on Thursday! A big thank you to the Memorial math team, Mrs. Minery, Mrs. Yar, Mrs. Cuevas, Mrs. Kruk, Mrs. Scaglione, Mrs. Do, Mrs. Geib, Mrs. Meccia, Mrs. Patasnik, and Mrs. Howard for leading such an engaging challenge.

Ms. Arencibia has created a learning environment that serves as an inclusive space where artistic expression knows no bounds and where everyone feels valued and empowered.
